I know we are not able to meet together in this beautiful space at the moment, but I hope you are staying safe and healthy at home and enjoying time with your family. I miss you all and look forward to seeing you again when school reopens!

Instead of wading through thousands of Google search results, why not try the following online resources for research:

• The Canadian Encyclopedia
• CIA World Factbook
• InfoPlease
• Canadian Geographic Kids Atlas
• Merriam-Webster Word Central
• Dictionary of Canadian Biography Online

If you do use Goggle to search for information, it is a good idea to evaluate your search results. To do this, you can read the Five W's of Web Site Evaluation. Listed below is a summary of the website:

• WHO wrote the pages and what are their credentials?
• WHAT is the purpose of the site adn is this stated clearly?
• WHEN was the site created? When was it last updated?
• WHERE does the information come from?
• WHY is this page better than other sites?
